Common Alcohol Addiction Withdrawal Symptoms
The point of alcohol detoxification is to make sure that, when you experience any withdrawal symptoms, they will be safe and manageable. Alcohol withdrawal can involve mild to severe life-threatening symptoms and that is why it is important to seek professional medical help to ensure you are monitored and kept as safe as possible. Below you will find alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Symptoms suffered during alcohol withdrawal include:
- Random, temporary fevers and sweats
- Irritability or paranoia
- Runny nose or eyes
- Nausea or trouble eating
- Inability to focus or read
- Uncharacteristic depressing thoughts
- Body aches
- Anxiety
More serious alcohol withdrawal symptoms:
- Full-body shakes or tremors
- Seizures
- Hallucinations
- Delirium Tremens (DT)
Who Should Detox from Alcohol?
Alcohol addiction is extremely dangerous especially if you do not seek professional help to minimize the withdrawal symptoms. That is why our experts at Decision Point Center will help determine if detox is necessary. At the end of the day, we will make sure that you or your loved one is safely getting the necessary treatment for alcohol withdrawal.
We generally recommend alcohol detox for patients who have:
- Struggled with alcohol use disorder
- Pre-existing medical conditions that could make withdrawals more dangerous.
During the intake procedure, we can review your options and medical history. In this way, you will know if alcohol detox will be part of your recovery program before it begins.
The Process of Medically-Supervised Detoxication
Medically-supervised alcohol detox involves a carefully managed process to help individuals safely withdraw from alcohol dependence while minimizing health risks. Here are the typical steps involved:
- Evaluation:
- Assessment: A healthcare professional evaluates the individual's alcohol use, medical history, physical and mental health, and any previous detox attempts.
- Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination helps identify any health issues that might complicate detox.
- Stabilization:
- Initial Intervention: Depending on the severity of alcohol dependence, immediate medical intervention might be necessary to address dehydration, malnutrition, or other acute complications.
- Medication Management: Medications may be prescribed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Common medications include benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, or other drugs to manage specific symptoms.
- Monitoring: Close monitoring of vital signs and symptoms is crucial to ensure safety and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
- Detoxification:
- Tapering Off: In some cases, a gradual reduction in alcohol intake, also known as tapering, is recommended rather than abrupt cessation to minimize severe withdrawal symptoms.
- Withdrawal Management: As the body detoxifies from alcohol, individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, seizures, or delirium tremens (DTs). Medical supervision is vital to manage these symptoms effectively.
- Psychological Support: Counseling, therapy, or support groups might be included to address psychological aspects of addiction and provide coping strategies.

Many people who finish an alcohol detox program with Decision Point Center move to our inpatient treatment which is paired up with many treatment therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or dual diagnosis treatment to help understand the underlining condition that might be creating the addiction in the first place. In any situation, our professional and compassionate staff at Decision Point Center will remain by your side.
